2 NAME: DATE: Making the best use of these units Introduction should ensure that students understand what they are doing and why. Many students will have some difficulty in understanding both the language in the activity and the instructions/purpose for carrying out the activity. You can create your personal teaching resource by printing these units in full and filing them by subject in a large ring binder. Encourage students to: o Bring the relevant subject textbooks to language support class. It does not matter if they have different textbooks as the activities in these units refer to vocabulary and other items that will be found in all subject textbooks. These units are based on curriculum materials. o Take some responsibility for their own learning programmes by: Developing a personal dictionary for different subjects, topics, and other categories of language, on an on-going basis. This prompt is a reminder. Recording what they have learnt on the Learning Record, which should be distributed at the start of each unit. Keeping their own files with good examples of the work produced in language support for different subjects and topics. This file will be an invaluable learning resource in supporting mainstream learning. Indicates that answers may be found at the end of the unit.
